Throughout the year, Kiwanis Clubs all over the world honor students who have been chosen by teachers and classmates to be Terrific Kids.This fall's Terrific Kids were each awarded a certificate at their school's spirit rally and were each invited to attend a special Kiwanis lunch, with their parents, at Descanso Gardens.

Upon arrival, students and their parents were able to choose a seat at one of the lovely fall decorated tables. Lunch included a buffet of chicken fingers, french fries, salad, veggies, and a rich, frosting-covered carrot cake.

After eating, President Leininger and other Kiwanis members shared enlightening news about some of the work being done by Kiwanis Clubs world-wide. Then, Mrs. Nancy Leininger had the students from each elementary school stand as she addressed the crowd. The teachers that had nominated the students had each written a personal message for her to read to them and their parents.

After the presentations, Tyler Wright got everyone on their feet to have some fun with a few songs and dances. Kids laughed at the silly songs, which was a great way to finish the meal before heading back to school.
